Dear Parents and Carers,
We are delighted to be welcoming all our students back to school on Monday 8th March
We would like to reassure you that we are taking all necessary steps to protect students and staff and are continuing to follow official guidance from the government, Bright Futures Educational Trust and Manchester Local Authority.
If you bring your son/daughter to school or they travel to school independently, please note the drop off and pick up times below.
Arrival 9.30am
Departure: 3.25pm
Please keep to these times and ensure that you wait at the student entrance, maintaining social distancing at all times.
Home to school transport will continue as usual.
We have highlighted below how you can help us make sure our school community keeps safe:
Students should attend school unless they feel unwell. If your child or anyone in your household has any of the following symptoms, you must arrange for a PCR test and inform school immediately
a new, continuous cough and/or
a high temperature
any change to the sense of taste or smell.
If your child or anyone in your household receives a positive covid-19 test result you must inform school immediately and your son/daughter must isolate for 10 days
Students on identified zones will be classed as close contacts and required to self-isolate for 10 days
What we need you to do:
Please do everything you can to ensure your son/daughter is not mixing socially in a way which could continue to spread the virus.
Continue to follow all hygiene protocols strictly including regular hand washing and mask wearing, if appropriate
Come and collect your child straight away, if we ask you to (we will contact you if they become ill with either a temperature or a new, continuous cough)
Ensure that you answer a phone call from school
If you’ve recently changed your contact details, please inform the school office as soon as possible
We will keep you up to date with any changes to the current situation and provide further information on home testing next week. The school website will be updated regularly and include any helpline and advise phone numbers.
Many thanks for your continued support
Sue Warner
Principal
